[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 60790, member: 1084"] The webbing over the water dish is just a part of keeping any heavy webbing species. That webbing that you're seeing is most likely just light webbing, meaning that the spider is getting situated with its new environment. Its probably not a part of the actual web that they construct as retreats, that'll be much thicker and have a funnel shape to it. Avic slings are often intimidated by larger prey items and seem to prefer prey much smaller than they are. Even then, some still shy away from live prey period until larger, so using prekilled was definitely a good idea. Don't worry about destroying part of the web when removing the lid, it won't bother it that much and it'll reweb fairly quickly. They do often take the hint as a matter of fact, and will web in a different area or perhaps at a slightly lower spot. [/QUOTE]
